Ukraine receives $61 billion package for military assistance from US

The World

Ukraine has struggled in recent months on the military front, losing territory to Russia. It’s also struggling to protect civilian life and infrastructure. US military assistance for Ukraine that was passed this week is supposed to change that. But Ukraine’s also looking to beat back Russia and win back its territory. Host Marco Werman speaks with Samuel Charap, senior scientist at the Rand Corporation about what victory means for Washington and Kyiv and how this military aid plays into that.
